I was browsing through suite101.com’s Limelite Blog when I came across this exciting news: For the first time, online news providers are eligible to be considered for the coveted Pulitzer Journalistic Excellence Awards. Follow this link to find out how to enter, keeping in mind the deadline is February 9th, 09 for 2008 writing. For a long time, those of us who work in new media have understood that outstanding news reporting does happens online, and many people, myself included, prefer to get their news from the Internet, rather than from newspapers and magazines. It is a tribute and an honour to online writers that an organization as highly respected as the Pulitzer has recognized this.

An impressive share! I have just forwarded this onto a colleague who was conducting a little homework
on this. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it
for him… lol. So let me reword this…. Thank YOU
for the meal!! But yeah, thanx for spending time to talk about this topic here on your site.

I do not know if it’s just me or if everybody else experiencing issues with your blog. It appears like some of the text in your posts are running off the screen. Can somebody else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them as well? This could be a issue with my web browser because I’ve had this happen previously.
Thanks
